Question
Write a short note about non-alignment.
✓
Answer
With the advent of the bipolar world system after World War II.
The United States and the Soviet Union had nuclear weapons.
The war between the two superpowers was on a global scale.
The two superpowers avoided direct conflict by keeping a certain distance from each other.
From 1947 to 1990 this situation developed into what is known as the "Cold War".
This fight of communist ideology against capitalist and market based economies has brought many countries and textures of the world into their group.
During this time, the Prime Minister of India, Pandit Nehru, adopted a policy of "non-alignment" without joining any of the two groups.
The true meaning of non-alignment is not to look at the world through the lens of any power group, but to look objectively at international issues with one's own national interests in mind.
Non-alignment is a new ideology in world politics.
Which includes the best point of view of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru.
